Scenes of the Panama Canal,
generally in the natural order of passage, from a ship moving from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. The ship passes by the Panamanian city of Colón on the Atlantic
end, through the channel to Gatun Locks and into Gatun Lake, views of the Gatun
spillway and the Chagres River. From here she passes from Gaillard Cut (Culebra
Cut), into the Pedro Miguel Locks and into Miraflores Lake. Then through the
Miraflores Locks and into the final portion of the canal, passing the Canal Zone
towns of Ancon, Balboa, and Balboa Heights. Final views are of the Ancon
Hospital (Gorgas Hospital) and the U.S. Administration Building at Balboa.
